# Today is Nelson Mandela International Day, a day to honour Mandela’s legacy through acts of service and compassion. This year’s theme is, It’s still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity. This day is a call to action for individuals, communities, and organisations to take time to reflect on Mandela’s values and principles and to make a positive impact in their own communities. Government says South Africans have their own individual power to change the world for the better.
